Cropping Considerations: Avocados Data to Collect: 1.Relative thrips populations of nymphs only based on numbers counted per underside of the leaf. Pre-count, along with 7 day interval counts until control of the thrips population is loss at seven to ten weeks post treat. 2. Persea mite populations based on the number of colonies found on average per leaf on the underside of the leaves during the thrips evaluation period 3. Estimated crop loss due to thrips damage based on evaluation of 100 fruit per treatment.

Conclusions: This trial was laid out as a random complete block design (RCBD) trial utilizing four replications for each treatment and when collecting data. Each replicate consisted of one tree with a buffer tree between the treated trees. The application were made utilizing 75 gallons of water per acre equivalent, applied as foliar sprays to simulate the rate that would be applied by an aerial applicator. Applications were made with a Solo backpack airblast sprayer. Treatments followed the rates and timing laid out in the Treatment application Table found below. Evaluations for all pests started prior to the application. At the beginning of the trial evaluations were made by counting all live nymphal thrips found on the underside of newly developing leaves, utilizing five leaves per replicate. At the same time newly developing mite colonies were also counted in the same manner. Evaluations for fruit damage were made two months after fruit set by collecting 25 fruit per replicate and counting the total number of fruit with thrips damage and rating that damage as allowing the fruit to be marketable as first grade fruit or unmarketable, these becoming culls. The plants were also inspected for any application phytototoxic effects after the initial application. Results and Discussion: All data for this trial will be found in this report and the accompanying 1-3. Excel spreadsheet Charts During the course of the trial normal thrips activity was noted and no mite populations developed during this trial. Thrips population means can be found in the consolidated Chart 1. As can be seen in this chart, the untreated check populations of thrips was normally well above one nymphal thrips per leaf, which is considered the economic threshold for this pest, with fruit damage most likely to occur. All treatment rates and combinations of adjuvants kept the thrips populations well below the untreated check population during the rating period. Chart 2 shows the average fruit damage for each treatment. As can be seen in this chart all treatments showed significant reductions in thrips damage over the untreated check. Chart 3 shows the average packout potential for the fruit evaluated. As can be seen in this chart, based on the quality ratings for thrips damage, all of the fruit treated in this test would have packed as first grade based on the lack of significant thrips damage. Though thrips populations were well above established economic thresholds 99 percent of the untreated fruit would have packed out as first grade fruit. No phytotoxic effects were observed in any of these treatments. All data rated as significant confidence level. was done so utilizing the New Duncan's Multiple Test Range at a 95% 9/30/09 (09cacthrips01 CAC 2009 Low Vol) Site Description Page 4 of 19 Holden Research and Consulting Conclusions: Based on the data collected from this trial, it would appear that all tested adjuvants used as substitutes to the normal (and in most cases for abamectin label requirement) use of Narrow Range 415 spray oil should supply like control of Avocado thrips over the use of Narrow Range 415 oil. Further study may be be required to confirm the preceding, but it would appear from this study that many of the standard adjuvants used in the marketplace should provide like activity for the control of Avocados thrips when used with abamectin based and Delegate insecticides.
